Formed in 2008, local ambient post-punk quartet Asterionella recently released a cassette version of its 2010 debut album, Under the Waves, via Vegas’ own Hex Records. This is the fourth time Asterionella plays Neon Reverb, but guitarist Richard Polk says he’d be happy playing it every six months. “It’s just a fun, well-organized event and a great way to get people downtown and interested in local alternative music.” Polk’s band will be debuting a few new songs. “We all like different textures and have varied influences, so it’s coming together now in a really interesting way.” Listen for like the introspective “Novocaine,” with singer/guitarist Kelley Karas’ vulnerable lyrics. Don’t miss this act, folks. - Las Vegas Seven
